It really does them a disservice.[/quote] To be fair the review in BGM wasnt entirely positive. They rightly pointed out the major price increases meant that especially the Precision wasn't great value for money.

If portability will be an issue for you, you might wanna take a look at this. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20284"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20284[/url] It's a small compact lightweight poweramp Alien (Andy) is making for me at the moment.

With anything as physical like that, I wouldn't trust plastic strap locks. You'll need more a pair of Dunlop strap locks, with the screw super glued into the bass!

Looks like it's coming along nicely.

Oooooooh. Love that zebrano. The idea of a matching zebrano headstock sounds great!

Then its only costing everyone the price of an envelope and stamp. s_u_y_ has kindly offered to post on the surplus which I sent him. Hopefully the next people will keep it going..... Ian[/quote] Good idea. Unfortunately both sets are gone already.

Seems there must have been a bit of miscommunication in my PM and I ended up with all 30. Since I don't need all 30, I'll be giving away 2 sets of 10 free of charge.

Wow... the guys at that pawn shop obviously don't use Google!

[quote name='dangerboy' post='201116' date='May 17 2008, 04:46 PM']I'm trying out the first applicant on Monday... Will keep you guys up to date. Maybe we'll go for a 4-bass lineup in the end ;-)[/quote] I've always wanted to see a bass quartet.

[quote name='phatmonkey' post='200938' date='May 17 2008, 10:51 AM']We also recently passed the number of posts that bassworld and basstalk had combined (193,616), with only half the number of members.[/quote] I think Mrs Tinman should get a special commendation then. Happy birthday BC!

Thank God I can't sing. One less thing to GAS over.

I'll admit I was skeptical of the idea of a BC competition, as I've seen some on other forums and it all a bit of a w*** fest really. But this sounds more like my cup of tea. Hopefully I can get something down.

If nickels is what you want, then you might wanna try DR Sunbeams. They're compressed strings so have more mass than the gauge would indicate. To me, it gives more presence. The strings also have a nice subtle growl to them which lasts a long time and is even present unplugged. Bloody expensive (though there's a seller in eBay from the States doing them cheap), but really really good strings.

Slotted headstocks... I think they look fantastic on basses. I just wonder why I hardly see any about. There are of course the lovely RIM Basses, and the rare Ampeg AEB and other variants. Also found a company called Eastwood doing Ampeg AEB replicas. This baby has got my GAS going I'll admit! Any opinions? RIM Basses Ampeg AEB and fretless AUB Eastwood replica

lol... funny thing about being here, you'll probably end up buying that Rick. This place isn't good for your wallet. Anyways, welcome!

[quote name='dood' post='190883' date='May 2 2008, 09:54 PM']The neck on my 70's P is almost identical in size to my Fender Jazz neck. Neither basses have enough strings tho'! heee heee heeee.[/quote] Simple solution... glue the necks together.

lol... aspects of both that I like and dislike. J neck and body with P pups would suit me nicely.

Very nice Chris! It's sometimes true we don't know what we want until we no longer have it. Happy that you've found your combo mate.
